:57: As far as memory from college goes the rear wheels are just bolted onto the hub, and spin on a bearing. it may be that that's off, or the wheel imbalanced.

Assuming that the tyre itself is not faulty, that tyre pressures have always been regularly maintained at recommended level for load etc. involved, that the rear shock absorbers are in good condition and that a rear brake is not binding.....have the rear wheel camber and toe angles professionally checked (on both sides of the car) - safer & cheaper than tyre problems!
